Dear FCPS Family,

Are you looking to open up the world to your child? Fairfax County International Study Travel Program offers a range of educational trips to exciting destinations during Spring Break and Summer. Programs are themed (Community Service, Language, History, Environmental Studies) and all itineraries align to the FCPS Program of Studies so that students can apply what they learn in the classroom.

Great news – there are still spaces left on two of the High School programs traveling this year
